For dinner tonight, we decided to order a couple of Dominos pizzas, because we bought one of those fundraising cards where we can buy 1/get 1 free deals for a whole year (theyyyy're GREAT!)
Well, Eldest Child and I went to go pick them up, and when we got there, Dominos had inadvertently made one of ours wrong, and the manager was super cool by telling me that if I wanted it, he would give it to me for free! (How often does THAT happen?)
Walking out the door with three large pizzas, we then drove home. A few blocks over at a red light, I saw an older homeless woman sitting on the curb, asking a passerby for some money. I didn't even think about it; I grabbed that extra pizza (box is hot! The food is fresh!) and ran it to her, wished her a Merry Christmas, got back in my car, and as I drove through the light, my daughter noticed that the old lady was crying.
And I started to cry, too. I am so grateful for experiences like that. My mahalo to Dominos for providing her that great meal. If they hadn't been so cool about giving away a "bum pizza" I wouldn't have thought to give part of my dinner to that lady. But tonight I feel so lucky to have been able to pass along the blessing.
